Bring the whole pack
The Avalone Pontoon is explicitly pet friendly, with the rental set up for owners who want to bring a dog aboard (a pet fee/deposit applies). It’s described as a worry-free option for pet owners looking to spend extended time on the water.
Simple, roomy, capable
This pontoon is powered by a 40HP engine and rated to carry up to eight passengers, offering a comfortable, low-maintenance platform for day cruising or longer rentals.
Delivered to the lake — and picked up
Rentals are delivered to locations across Sebago Lake and nearby ponds, with scheduled morning deliveries and late-afternoon pickups on the final rental day for a hands-off start and finish to your trip.
What the day feels like
What the outing feels like
You take possession of a straightforward, pet-equipped pontoon that’s meant to be enjoyed rather than fussed over: a 40HP engine, seating for up to eight, and an operator-age requirement that keeps things simple. Delivered to your chosen spot on Sebago Lake or a surrounding pond in the morning and picked up the final afternoon, the Avalone lets you treat the water as a mobile campsite — for a few days at a minimum — with life preservers supplied for every passenger.
